What does 'developing a positive social identity' mean?

For homework, I have to define what it means to 'develop a positive social identity'. My interpretation of it is basically being self-aware of what you identify as and the privileges one might hold due to the group they identify with. 

 

I'm not too confident with my answer cause it kinda sounds very BS lol...

What is your take on it?

yours sound about right

you can expand it to include both in-person and on-line social presence, and not just privileges but also responsibilities. 

 

Social identities is how people defined you, in numerous ways, in each of your role. As a child to your parent, a student, a co-worker, a friend, a member of society. With the rise of social media, it extend to but not limited by, your own social "brand". What do people think about when they think about you? Develop your own social identity mean being in control of "how" people think of you, which is going the opposite of the message we heard our whole live where we told to disregard others' opinion.

Sounds like a SJW thing 

 

Lmaoooo that's funny cause that's basically what my entire class is about.

 

So far sounds okay but is that it? lol I think your teacher would like you to explain more.

 

 

Also did you know there's a homework help thread: http://onehallyu.com/topic/213323-the-official-homework-help-thread/

 

Oh no, I'm definitely going to elaborate. But I just wanted to know if I'm headed towards the right direction. 

 

What kind of class is this? Nothing what you described seems "positive" to me, but, if that's what the teacher wants, keep BS-ing that way, you're doing this for a grade, not because it matters.

 

I'm an education major and this is a "social foundations" class I'm required to take. It's basically a class about different social identities and how certain ones can affect a child's learning/teacher's way of teaching. For example, white teachers teaching in low-income/diverse classrooms may have a difficult time reaching her students because they don't feel connected with her racially or socioeconomically...so in order to overcome this, teachers have to dig deep into what her students identify as and how she can incorporate those in her lessons. Also, the groups they identify with may be the reason they struggle/do well in school.

I get it now. Positive is still not the word I would use in that context, but I understand it much better. I was thinking "how is it positive to put yourself in a position where you are paranoid about your social standing? It's only stressful."
